We received word today from Sigil Games Online that they've added a new body to their lineup of interesting characters that already includes co-founders Brad McQuaid and Jeff Butler of EverQuest fame. His name is Keith Parkinson. His job is to make the games pretty. At least that's what I gather from his title of Art Director. In his new position, Parkinson will be in charge of the overall artistic style of the game as well as be responsible for concept art, art, promotional material, posters, and so on.

"Keith is an accomplished artist and creative director with broad experience in books and computer games, and we are honored to have him on board," said Brad McQuaid, President and co-founder of Sigil Games. "In addition to his talents as an artist, Keith's enthusiasm for massively multiplayer games ensures that he will be able to bring our vision to life."

While you may not recognize the name immediately, you may recognize some of his work outside of the game industry, most notably for the general geeky public from his book covers for the various trash novels like Sapphire Rose and The Temple of Winds that we all have read. Well some of us anyway, they were best sellers. You'll also recognize his work from the EverQuest boxes. Yes that High Elf vixen you see tied up every now and again in flimsy clothing was all Mr. Parkinson. And we thank him because he made her look better in art than she ever could in real life.
